Storage Ideas

This is a link to a site I found today while I was just browsing the internet. There are some great ideas here for craft storage.

I especially liked to use of old drawers for storage or bookshelves.

Check it out for yourself!!

Storage Ideas

Here are a couple of cards I've recently done. The flower card was done by stamping the images and then sponging on the color, cutting out the image and then smashing and folding and opening and doing it all over again! Then I lightly sponge more color on and mounted them with Stampin Dimensionals.

The fishing card was done using a variation on the technique Pullin' Pastels by Gina K. The fish was stamped seperately and cut out. Although it looks like it's tied on with the hemp cord it's actually glued on.

Tag Card

Here is something I made a couple of years ago. I made each tag individually and then "hooked" them together with a punch from my word window punch. I think next time I would use one sheet of paper but I originally was going to do something else so this is what I ended up with. I do like the way it turned out though.

American Capitalism and Pravda

Here's an interesting article from Pravda Online. It's well worth the read and eye-opening to see what Russians think of the new America.

6th Grade Promotion

Last night my daughter transitioned from 6th to 7th grade. In our district that means she goes from elementary to middle school.

Our school makes a big deal about it and our teachers this year were awesome!!

A big fancy evening dessert with lots of awards, graduation music and a concert put on by the 6th graders were just a few of the highlights.

We had a balloon arch that stayed up until it was time to start and then decided to fall!!

The back ground paper came from Shabby Princess and the blingy daisy came from Ellie Lash

Digital Halloween

I'm really not this far behind on my scrapbooking (well, maybe I am on the kids scrapbooks!!). Anyway, this was done completely on the computer with Paint.Net. I really love that program!!

Everything I used was free on the web. If you look real close (click on the image for a larger version) at the flowers on the bottom you can see that the centers are eyelets!! I got them at freedigitalscrapbooking.com

I wish I could remember where I got the background paper because I love it.

The title is done on two separate layers so I could get the shadow effect.

This page is going in my son's scrapbook which is why it focus' on him and not "princess leia"!
